Specification of Letters Patent.

' rateamiiiag-14, 1ere.

Original application led July 31, 1916, Serial No. 112,348. Divided andthis application filed November 2,

of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inRouge-Pad Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a .division of a cepending application filed by me July31, 1916 and bearing the Serial. N o. 112,348 and relates tolnew anduseful improvements in compressed powder holders, the primary object ofmy invention being the provision of a simple and improved method ofpackaging toilet powder, rouge-and similar` articles in compressed form.l

More specifically, my invention includes an ornamental box or container,preferably formed of sheet metal and means lockingl'y held in the boxfor detachably seelu'ring a pad holding a cake ofA powder so that afterthe powder has been used from the pad, the pad may be withdrawn and'replaced by a fresh one.

In this eonnectiom'a still 'further object of my invention consists in`providing a device which is detachably applied Within the box and whichwill detachably and loclringly receivea powder holding pad.l

Another object f my invention is to provide an anchoringv ydevice 'ofthe,above described character otsuchconstruetion that it may be stnipedor' otherwise `formed in a single pice'from sheet metal or othersuitably formed of cardboard and which has a y able materiali yitlrliese a'ndiother in view my inyeiitionwill be niOre'fully described,illus- .i 1 a v /trated n 240. ,then which' ief/la'ccom'paiiyingdrawings, and

Corresponding and like parts are referred 50,-to in the followingdescription and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the samereference characters.

Referring nioie speeiicallyfto Fig. l, I

indicates a, container or box which is prefer- Serial No. 129,162.

circular bottoni l1, an inner peripheral wall 12 and an outer peripheralwall 13, of less height than the inner wall whereby au extei-lor stopshoulder 14 is provided. to receive the annular flange 15 of the cover16. This cover may-be either hinged to the box or not, as preferred, anda clamping ringl'?,

also preferably of cardboard, engages with# in the iiaiige 15 andsecuresa mirror 1S in place vwithin the cover. The engagement of theflange l5 with the shoulder 14 prevents the ring 17 being forced intoundue engagement with the mirror 18 and so avoids any likelihood ofinjury to -the mirror through too close shutting of the cover.

My present invention consists 'primarily inproviding .means for securinga powder or rouge holding pad 19 withinthe above box.

This pad, which may beforined of card`4 vthe body, are bent upwardly, asshown at 23. The pad is'inse'rtedl between the upwardly directed arm-sof the holder 2l. and theterminals of ythearms are then bent inwardly,as shown at 24 in Fig. 1, to lock the pad to the holder, If desired, thepadmay be additionally anchored to the holder byl yproviding the holderwith diaiiietrically opposed V-shaped clefts 25 delining triangularshaped prongs 26 which are bent upwardly, passed through the bottom ofthe pad and then rebent, as clearly shown in Fig. l. The body of theliolderis also provided with a' second pair of i diametrioally disposedV- shaped clefts 27 defining triangular tongues or proiigs which arebent downwardly, passed through the bottom of the box and rebent toanchor the holder to the box.

From the foregoing descriptiomtaken in connectionpwith the drawings, theconstruction and method of employing the powder holder will bey readilyunderstood. Although I have illustrated and described it in all itsdetails, it will of course be understood that I reserve the right tomake any changes, within the scope of the appended claims.

llaving thus described the invention, what is claimed as new' is:

1. 'l`he combination with a box anda eolnpressed powder holder haring amarginal flange, ol' an ant-boringr device includingl a body haring'downstruek prongs passed through the bottom of the box and bent againstthe lower face thereotI and upstruek prongs passed upwardly through thebottoni ol' the holde and bent against the uppel' faee thereof. l

il. The combination with a box and a compressed powder holder having.: amarginal flange, ol an anchoring device including` a body haringdo\\'nstruek prongs passed through the bottom ot" theY box and lientagainst the lower faee thereof and upstruek prongs passed upwardly1through the bottom ot' the holder and bent against the upperl facethereof, and arms formed at intervals about the edge ol the body andbent upwardly and inwardly to engage over the edge of the holder.

3. The combination with a box and a C0mpressed powder holder having amarginal lan'ge, ot' an anchoring device including a body adapted toseat in the bottom of the box and havingl arms adapted to be bent upwardly and inwardly about Ithe marginal lange of the holder, and meansfor anehoring the bod) within the box.

4. 'lfheeonihilnxtion with a box and a Compressed powder holder ha\'in,fr"a niarginal flange, ot' an anchoringdevice including a ,body ha\'in;rupstruek prongs adapted to ,be passed in\\'ardl \j through the bottomol:
